Skin
canoes....
獨皮舟
Three
men are found in the wilderness by civilized cannibals.
The men are led to a gravesite
next to the water. The chief says, 'We will kill you as a coward,
or we will let you die honarable deaths for your homelands. You choose the weapon.
Either way, your skins will be used to make our canoes.'
 
The
first man, a soldier at heart, asks for a handgun. With this, he
recites the Pledge and
shoots himself. He is carried off. The next man asks for a
sword. A warrior at heart,
he uses a Japanese katana to
commit seppuku as a Japanese
man.
The
last man asks for a fork.
'A
fork? asks the chief?'
But
it's his dying wish, so they hand him the fork. He stabs
himself repeatedly in the chest, and yells, 'I HOPE YOUR CANOE SINKS!!'
